Reviews for Kickstart School

Excellent

I will definitely continue my studies here.

Very flexible and understanding staff, engaging teaching and well thought out lesson plans. Highly recommended.

Really good quality courses. very professionnal teacher, nice and caring. Ducth language is not that easy, however, the way the lessons are lead, makes it smooth. Hapy also to have met people from many foreign country, despite the covids measures.

Very good experience, teacher and supporting materials very good. Fast paced yet great learning experience. I will recommend it.

This was a very complete learning experience, with a lot of content and materials. The lessons are interesting and very fast-paced, which is great (but can be a bit frustrating at times so you need to be a bit patient!). It serves as an excellent base to the Dutch language.

Very structured lessons!

Thank you so much for this course. It was very focused and intensive which is exactly what I was looking for. I wonder if there could be a lightly longer version as well.

I liked all the grammar being explained at once and that now I have a goal, a list of everything that I should learn and how in one place.

I love the way the teacher went through the whole grammar and had the time and the patience to explain every exercise to us.

It was my second time to take a class in Kickstart school. It was via Zoom but I could follow everything. The teacher explained everything very clearly with a lot of exercises. I did not mind to take classes via Zoom since I could save a lot of time since I didn't need to travel to the school.

I had good experience and i feel if the speaking time will be increase its much more interesting. I prefer more interaction and more pressure for speaking.

I liked my teacher who is really passionate about improving her course by asking feedback and applying them in her course. I really recommend our teacher 'Mandy de Waal '!

The course covered many topics. The teacher was very encouraging and interactive. I liked the activities and the homework. Maybe I would have included some exams to force myself to study a bit more. But the explanations were very clear and helpful. I can notice an improvement after the course.

Very nice course. I have enjoyed it and learnt a lot. I also liked the teacher, she was very fun. I appreciated that she always took the time to explain things to us again.

Well-structured, fit for purpose and well-designed course. Great teachning and materials provided. Thank you!

I could learn what to expect on the exams and the important points including how the DUO website/exams work.

Despite the current corona situation, I find the online classes were good. Of course, it could be nice to have a direct connection with the teacher and other students who are following the same course. In sums, the contents of the course was clear and very helpful for the Inburgering Exam. My expectations are filled.

We were very lucky with our teacher Neeltje who taught me and my 2 boys basic Netherlands these last couple of weeks. She did a really nice job teaching the 2 boys and they are now off to a great start. We were very thankful that we could start our lessons right away. The school was really flexible and tried best to accommodate our personal wishes and needs. I also really enjoyed the teaching materials that the school and Neeltje herself provided! I'd absolutely recommend this to anyone looking to getting into the Dutch language. Also really nice learning experience for the kids! Thanks so much!

It was good practice and get to go through the lessons but I find online classes need a lot of discipline. I prefer classroom setting. But given the situation, I think that the online class was good. Wish that I could understand more.

Kickstart is a great company and has some great tutors. The courses are fun but challenging. All the students seem committed and we all help each other. I enjoy the supportive environment.

I very much enjoyed the course. I actually found that doing the course via zoom worked great. The handouts and teaching was great. The interaction with other students was also enjoyable. I find the workbook Nederlands in actie quite difficult to study from, but for the rest it was good.

It’s a very intensive course and it’s very fast pace. To keep up you would need to do your homework

Great teacher and great extra resources eg the readers and practice exercises online.
